    A Stone's Throw Away

    Some say it’s only a stone’s throw away
    Into the blinders of a new generation
    Where he walked into abyss
    And was cut into ribbons
    Standing with a wrist in the air
    Protected by sanity
    Beholding pride and greed
    I want him to see himself
    And see what he has become
    It’s closer than a stone’s throw away
    It’s right in front of him
    He can see it
    But he can’t see himself
    You can stop crying
    And punch a hole in the wall
    To see that he’s crazy
    Just like me
    I am by no means a saint
    But at least I can walk a straight line
    And pass a sobriety test
    Somewhere new to him
    He says he’ll run away
    And I don’t give a damn
    I only want to see him try
    To make it on his own
    And I only want to see him function
    In a world that makes sense to me
    But he’s been blinded by the drink
    And I really want to see him bleed
    Because that’s what he’s doing to my head
    I really want to see him bleed
    And he won’t let me
    This is the infinitesimal continuum
    It never ends
    And I really don’t want him to walk away
    Without a scar on his face
    And I can’t help but smile
    When I see him stumble
    I’m unable to dream of anything else
    He’s gone crazy
    And I don’t care what he has to say
    Everyone knows about him
    He’s in the blinders
    Ready to get hit
    And it’s less than a stone’s throw away


    I wrote this in a trance of anger
